"The unreal is more powerful than the real. Because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it. Because its only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. Stone crumbles. Wood rots. People, well, they die. But things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on. If you can change the way people think. The way they see themselves. The way they see the world. You can change the way people live their lives. That’s the only lasting thing you can create."

-- "Choke", Chuck Palahniuk

I'm all for the idea and live by it. Unfortunately, though, we need real food to eat, real shelter to protect us from real weather, and real lovers to touch us. But, yeah, when you don't have much going for you, a beautiful idea can do a lot for you.
